{{multiframe|[[File:SM3DW Lucky Bell Suits.png|x100px]][[File:Lucky Cat Rosalina.png|x100px]]|The [[Lucky Bell]] versions of the Cat forms}}

There is an alternate version of the form that is obtained by grabbing a [[Lucky Bell]], which is the same as normal Cat Mario except that it has a red collar and a bronze bell that looks like the Lucky Bell. During that state, Mario can turn into [[Lucky Cat Mario]], similar to [[Tanooki Mario]]'s [[Statue Mario|Statue form]] in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' (though the Lucky Cat form is invincible, rather than invulnerable and ignored, and it gives bonus coins while falling); its appearance is similar to that of a ''{{wp|maneki-neko}}''. If Mario collects a [[Super Bell]] while in this form, he "downgrades" to normal Cat Mario, unlike collecting a [[Super Mushroom]] while Mario already has a power-up (similar to the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Tanooki Suit]]/[[Statue Leaf]]).

When [[Bowser]] becomes [[Meowser]], he uses a different transformation scene from that of the other characters: instead of shifting between his normal and Cat forms during the transformation, he becomes surrounded by orange light, and a jingling sound can be heard. As Meowser, Bowser has white and orange fur with brown stripes, similarly to a tiger, a ringed tail, cat ears instead of horns, whiskers, and his nose is black. Also, his hair is colored red, white and brown, and his shell appears to become more blueish. Like Cat Goombas and [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, his form is more akin to a transformation than an actual suit. However, in addition to this form's abilities, he can also tail whip, like Tanooki Mario, and he retains his fire breath.

In the game's ending cutscene, the protagonists will always leave the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] and return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in their Cat forms, even if they did not use them for the final battle against Meowser.

The form reappears in the original game's [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]], ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', serving the same role as it did in the previous game. Its claw dive move's duration has been extended to the point where it will almost always last until it reaches the ground instead of lasting only two seconds, although in ''Bowser's Fury'', it may stop automatically due to there being higher structures than in ''Super Mario 3D World''. It is also involved in a [[List of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury glitches#Dive With Any Item|glitch]] that allows it to claw dive while in another form. Most of the enemies and bosses gain Cat forms in ''Bowser's Fury'', but these are only visual changes; this characteristic also applies to [[Goomba]]s, despite already having Cat forms in ''Super Mario 3D World''. The only exceptions to this are Cat Bullet Bills, which retain their homing behavior from ''Super Mario 3D World''. [[Kitten]]s, who have the same coloration of the playable cast's forms except for the red and calico ones, follow Cat Mario around and become affectionate towards him by nuzzling him, but if Mario approaches while in any other form, they flee from him. Additionally, [[Plessie]] gains a Cat appearance during the final battle, and stays that way afterwards.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

'''Cat Peach''' appears as a downloadable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. She is part of the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack along with [[Tanooki Mario]] and [[Link]], as well as four karts and eight race tracks. The [[Cat Cruiser]] also has a design that resembles Cat Peach. Cat Peach, along with the female [[Villager]] have more acceleration at the cost of their weight stat. They are the lightest middleweight playable characters in the game, being slightly lighter than Peach, Daisy, and the various [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, but heavier than Toad, [[Koopa Troopa]], the various [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Lakitu]], [[Toadette]], [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], the babies, and [[Isabelle]]. Nin★Anne uses Cat Peach as the [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|staff ghost]] for  {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}. Similar to [[Tanooki Mario]], Cat Peach has different animations and quotes from her original counterpart, with many of them being meowing noises, or puns (e.g. ''"Meowtastic!"'').

===Other appearances===

Mario's Fat Cat, [[Rabbid Peach]]'s No Pity Kitty, and [[Rabbid Luigi]]'s Jade Jaguar from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' are modeled after Cat Mario, Cat Toad, and Cat Luigi, respectively.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Cat Mario and Cat Peach are playable skins. Leather Armor is replaced by the Cat Suit. Ocelots are replaced by Cat Mario, while cats have many skins replaced by Cat Luigi, Cat Peach, Cat Toad, Cat Rosalina, [[Meowser]] and [[Lucky Cat Mario]].
